USV Launches Concordance Tool to Empower Gestational Diabetes Care in India
USV, an Indian multinational healthcare company and holds the #1 position by prescriptions in the Oral Anti-Diabetic and Cardiology markets, has introduced a first-of-its-kind Concordance Tool for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM).
This initiative aims to improve short-term pregnancy outcomes and support long-term health in women affected by GDM.
GDM affects up to 14% of pregnancies in India, with prevalence rising to nearly 18% in urban areas. Left unmanaged, it can result in serious complications for both mother and child, while significantly increasing the mother's risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. These risks can also carry over to the next generation, fueling a cycle of chronic illness.
The Concordance Tool is a structured, visual aid designed for gynecologists, obstetricians, and expecting mothers—especially in high-volume clinical settings. It enables users to:
- Understand GDM and its risks
- Emphasize early screening and lifestyle interventions
- Support shared decision-making and treatment adherence
- Reinforce postpartum follow-up to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes
